most of the macro story shows up in the plumbing before the press release. product stocks, tanker insurance, smelter charges, gilt auctions. that's what i post about.
@william_pa52210@ericweinstein@joerogan there's always a chance it's an enormous psyop. but pretty low given perjury risks, and that you would have to get presidents from both sides working together on it with deep state.
@NorthstarCharts@Sheroldmusic structurally bullish is easy while fiscal deficits and real yields do the work. a correction just shakes out the leverage. the regime stays the same.
@clashreport equatorial margin barrels are a decade trade. diesel and jet still look tight this winter. exploration headlines don't fill product tanks.
@gaze_observer announcing copper capex is the easy part. restarting tamil nadu and getting near 1mt comes down to power, permits and treatment charges.
@aeberman12@TheMichaelEvery if iran's hormuz card is spent, war-risk and product freight should be tumbling. if they aren't, the distillate market still doesn't believe it.
@staunovo 50m barrels of diesel is the bit that matters. product stocks decide whether europe gets through winter without rationing, whatever crude does.
Wondering why oil is up, yields are breaking records, valuations are stretched to historic levels, but yet equities refuse to buckle? i think this is it (hat tip @TaviCosta ). My hunch is that shorting the broader market anytime before the mid-terms is risky business...Trump is just as aware as other Presidents of the correlation between equity prices and polling numbers, and that message will no doubt be conveyed daily to the Fed.
@DrJStrategy warning about the hall of mirrors then joining the committee is a hell of a way to test the thesis. the bond market will grade it in real time.
